All too soon, possibly even tomorrow, the doors of this local restaraunt and pub will be closing for good: tonight might be your last chance to experience a slice of one-of-a-kind Benny’s pizza or a juicy delicious burger, shoot some pool, drop a record in the juke box and toast the 21 years Benny [...]
I have to admit that, when it comes to flyers and circulars that arrive by mail, I tend to sift through them with barely a glance and then toss them into the trash (recycling bin, of course). But thankfully, the colors of this brochure (designed by local artist Agata Lipnicka) caught my eye and [...]

Hi again, it’s Jan!
First stop: Darien Sport Shop. Here is a great chance to wear something really beautiful and do something really good. The daughter of former Darien resident Tess van Munching is selling these gorgeous bracelets made by Samburu women in Kenya.
Each bracelet, made by hand, takes an entire day to make, [...]
(That’s adorable Darien munchkin Lane Murphy, being fitted with a back pack by Patrick Charland at the Darien Sport Shop)
